Does your guinea bite?

Was she scared?

No, probably just a typical cranky/defensive Guinea Hen.

I sold a batch 0f 3 1/2 wk old keets today that were all trying to draw blood as I paused to explain each color to the new owner... rotten little brats!

My guineas eat out of my wife's hand all the time. One male always pecks at her hand a lot harder then the others while eating the treats. She named him "Hard Pecker"

When ever I know I have to handle my guineas I will wear a heavy coat, and sometimes even gloves! LOL I've had them guineas grab hold of my jacket before and not let go until I put them down. OUCH

Wow, I really appreciate my guineas now! The pictures you got are hilarious! She is just holding on like she's really irritated with you so she's not letting you go to make her point.

My guineas are flighty and not a bit tame, but even when I have to catch them and pick them up, I've never had them bite. (they just kick and scream a lot) I suspect that will all change when one of my guinea hens goes broody on a nest though!
